Hi
I have an original IBM model M keyboard (US 101-key layout, P/N 1391401).
This keyboard dropped very hard on the ground. IBM made these keyboards very
robust, but this treatment was too much.
The black support frame with all the chimney is cracked completely.
(this happend before I removed it from the metal base plate :-)
See: http://www.ibmsystem3.nl/downloads/Model_M_1385796.jpg
Does anyone know a source for this black support frame P/N 1385796 ?
(besides buying a donor keyboard)
Does anyone knowns where IBM purchased them from ?
(I can't believe that IBM made these themselves)
Has anyone a good contact inside IBM Greenock to ask this qustion ?
Thanks !
Henk
